Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is getting ready to celebrate its fifth year on Broadway, originally opening on April 22, 2018. In honor of the Tony Award-winning play’s upcoming anniversary, take a look at these new production photos featuring the Year Five cast.
To celebrate five years on Broadway, the megahit play has planned “5 Days of Magic” which will include magical surprises, in-theatre giveaways, and a special in-person lottery at one performance.
“Five Days of Magic” kicks off on Wednesday, April 19, when audiences at the matinee performance will witness a special presentation from the New York City Mayor’s Office.
On Thursday, April 20, a video will be released featuring the Broadway cast performing a moment from the production at Edge, the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere located at 30 Hudson Yards.
Then on Friday, April 21, fans will have the opportunity to enter a special in-person lottery at 4:30 pm at the Lyric Theatre where a drawing will take place at 5 p.m. for 50 tickets at that evening’s performance within the first 5 rows of the theatre to be sold at $5 each. Those who enter the lottery will also have the chance to win special prizes from across the Wizarding World.
The day of the actual anniversary, Saturday, April 22, audience members at both performances will receive a special Harry Potter and the Cursed Child-themed commemorative gift.
And to close out the “Five Days of Magic,” there will be appearances from special guests and once-in-a-lifetime giveaways at the performance on Sunday, April 23.
In anticipation of those exciting festivities, take a look at the new production photos below.
